EE UU pide trocear el negocio de Apple, Amazon, Facebook y Google
U.S. congressional Democrats have released a report calling for the breakup of Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Google, citing monopolistic practices. The 400‑page document alleges the firms have used their market dominance to suppress competition and stifle innovation. Lawmakers hope the findings will spur legislative action to restore competition in the digital economy.

- ▪Congressional hearings featured testimony from Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Jeff Bezos, and Tim Cook, with Facebook and Google identified as having the strongest monopoly power.
- ▪The report recommends structural separations, limits on cross‑business operations, and mandatory interoperability of data across platforms.
- ▪Apple and Amazon defended their positions, arguing they do not dominate any market category and that their market shares are modest.
- ▪Republican members expressed concern about the size of the companies but disagreed with several of the report’s recommendations.
